Application filed August 17, 1916. Serial No. 115,381.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MATILDA NAGLE, a citizen of the United States, and resident of rooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Dyeing-Machines, of which the following is a specification.

' he present invention relates to improvemachines, and particularly such machines for dyeing skeins of yarn or the like. An object of the invention is to provide such machines in which the skeins will be automatically turned step by step and given a swinging motion so that the dye will thoroughly permeate the skeins and the dyeing will be carried out in a superior manner. vide in such machines means for the difierent skeins, and for convenient removal thereof.

separating permitting the drawings, and will be hereinafter more fully described with reference thereto and finally pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings,

Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improved machine,

Fig. 2 is a top view thereof, with parts bro en away,

Fig. 3 is a vertical transverse sectional view, and

Figs. 4 and 5 are a detail section and elevation respectively of the skeins and sup porting means therefor.

imilar reference characters indicate corresponding parts throughout the several figures of the drawings.

Referring to the drawings, my invention comprises a dye vat 10, provided at the upper edges of the sides with hearing supports,

1 and 12, in which the ends of shafts l3 and 14 are mounted, the said bearing supports being open at the top to permit the ready removal of the sha Pinions 15 and 16 are provided respectively at the end of each shaft, and mesh with gears 17 and 18 mounted upon suitable bearing supports, 19, secured to the sides of the vat. Four projecting pins, 20, are provided on the outer side of the said gears, the ratio of the said gears and pinions distance corresponding to the distance be tween the pins, turns the pinion and shaft through one complete revolution.

An endless belt, 21, is mounted upon two pulley wheels, 22 and 23, rotatably supported upon brackets, 24 and 25, secured at each end of t e vat, and a projection 26 provided on the belt engages t e pins, 20, during the It will be understood, turn the gears at closer means may be emfor driving the belt.

ongated eccentrically mounted plates, 30 and 31, are provided in pairs upon the shafts, in spaced relation, and between which the skeins of yarn are placed. A web piece 32 is disposed between the plates 30 and 31 extending downward from as to give the yarn a considerable swinging movement, this movement being similar, and in fact superior, because of its uniformity, to the approved methods of poling the yarn by hand.

It will be understood that additional skein supporting shafts maybe provided if desired, and partitions may be placed in the vat so that two or more different colored dyes may be placed therein.

have illustrated and described a preferred and satisfactory form of my invention but it is obvious that changes may be made therein within the spirit and scope thereof or defined in the appended claims.

I claim,

1. In a dyeing machine, the combination with a vat, of a yarn supporting shaft, yarn retaining plates disposed in spaced relation on said shaft, and an e ongated web between part swinging and displacing movement to said for imparting rotary moand thereby turns the with a vat of a yarn supporting shaft, 1'0- tatably mounted upon said vat, a pinion on said shaft at one end thereof, a gear meshing with said pinion, pins provided in spaced relation on said gear, and an endless belt provided with a projecting member adapted to engage said pins to him said gear, to intermittently rotate said shaft.

In testimony, that 1 claim the foregoing as my inventlon, I have signed my name in 10 presence of twov subscribing Witnesses.

MATILDA NAGLE.
